Scott Bessant, an up and coming Welsh rugby player, revealed that he blames his two-week holiday in Maldives as the cause of his non-inclusion to Crusaders reserves squad which would have been a big step to a full-time professional career.

According to reports, Bessant acquired salmonella just two days after he arrived at a three-star resort in the island. He was accompanied by his wife in the trip.

The couple paid nearly $5,000 for the trip but reports stated that several vacationers in the resort had encountered inconveniences caused by sicknesses. The affected tourists only received $200 holiday voucher to make up for the trouble, which was deemed to be not enough.
This led the group to file a case against Cosmos, the tour operator that organized the holiday.

Bessant said that when he returned home, he was still sick and wasn’t able to make it to the scheduled training by the Crusader. This eventually led to him not making it to the training squad.

Aside from the sickness, the Welsh rugby player lost a significant amount of weight which affected his play altogether. He voiced out his disappointment for not making it to the squad.
